[Oh, Yang knows. She's feeling a little sick after eating two hot dogs and at least half a tub of large popcorn with a soda. These are the choices she makes.]
Movie theater. Mercury's asleep, so I'm trying to let him stay that way.
[And she's completely charmed.]
He kicked my door down while we were gone, it was really sweet.
There's no one here but us. Movie's over. And texting with just my robot hand? Not happening.
[But the grin is so obvious in her voice.]
I dunno, I thought it was kind of awesome. I'm not really used to having people worry about me like that. So I feel kinda guilty but also...kinda flattered? It's sweet. Sticking with that.
Don't feel guilty about someone caring whether you're okay or not, it's obnoxious when people do that. Have you ever blamed someone who made you worry outside of their control? It'd be one thing if you were like, intentionally taunting a mage who had done nothing wrong, but going after bad guys is your job. Both home and here.
Get out of the theater if the movie is over, people have to clean up! You're stopping people from doing their job in a timely fashion, which they'll likely get in trouble for, and for some reason you don't feel guilty about that.
I should, sure. But I'd rather let him sleep on my shoulder a while longer. We're in the back row and didn't make a mess, they said it was fine as long as we clear out before the next movie starts.
...I don't think he slept much while we were gone.
Anyway, I guess you're right. Just feels weird to get all giddy over knowing someone went through all that stress, you know? I mean, that's not why, I just...kind of like that he cares. Especially since I know he's not the type to say it, and actions speak a lot louder anyway.
So yeah. He rocked it. Total knight in shining armor. He gets to sleep as long as he wants.
I suppose if they gave you permission. I've got texts from he, Winter, and Jaune trying to find us. I wish they'd brought Jaune with them so he hadn't been off on his own looking for me- after everything we've been through he tends to jump straight to the worst conclusions and panics. They're playing games now though-- Sun and Jaune, not Winter. I think I might have a heart attack if Winter tried to play video games.
[ Weiss is just kind of watching them play. ]
Please tell me you at least took a shower before heading over to the theater.
It's fine. I have no idea what they're doing anyway, if I'm on the phone with you I don't have to pretend like I'm super proud of whoever's playing the black-haired guy for punching the red-haired guy harder.
[ SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE SHE'S JUST WATCHIN' HER BOYS.. ]
[ She thinks for a moment, trying to decide. ] Not.. really. I think I told him he was my most important person before we even realized it was romantic, then I didn't even have to think about it when he asked me out because I was already planning on talking to him. It's been really natural and gradual with us, but that wasn't always the case with past boyfriends.
Yeah. Just wanted to make sure he was still asleep. The last thing I want to do is make him nervous or think I'm trying to push for too much too fast. I just really want to tell him how much I care that he cares.
[She stretches out her leg, propping her boot up on the back of the seat in front of her, then crossing an ankle over that.]
It's probably a super boneheaded question. This is just the first time I've ever really been serious about someone. I don't want to mess it up, so...figured you might know. I mean, you know Mercury pretty well.
One of them was Flynt, so we really just had a casual relationship, it wasn't like.. that wasn't about love. We were friends with a lot of chemistry, but it wasn't.. I don't think it ever would've worked out like that. Neither of us wanted it to, I chose him because I couldn't handle something serious. Which is why I broke it off with Battler, because he... he made me feel like I could open up to someone again, and I didn't want that. Not after I lost Zuko. And Zuko we... hadn't quite gotten to wanting to marry each other but we had discussed not ruling it out as a possibility one day before I lost him.
[ She smiles warmly, though Yang can't see it but it's probably obvious in her voice. ]
I told him actually. Sort of. We were joking around because I was going to the Dream Docks with Sun, and we were planning on having him be there when I woke up so he could kiss me awake. He kept joking about stealing the ice queen's heart and I told him he already had. I looked so surprised I told him it was okay if he pretended I hadn't said it, then he said he was just surprised because he hadn't realized I felt the same way.
[Yang's smiling too, but a little more subdued. It must have really sucked to just wake up one day and realize he wasn't there anymore, and that's a severe understatement.]
Like when we all tried to visit the cafe he was working at, incognito. You were so cute about it.
[She chuckles, tucking the communicator comfortably between her ear and shoulder.]
Those sound like really nice memories, even if things...didn't quite work out. I guess it's no wonder why we keep coming to you for advice!
[ She misses him. Even while loving Sun, she still misses Zuko. That's not ever going to change, just like Sun's always going to have a place in his heart for Blake-- his Blake, who he was with here. It's why she isn't worrying about another Blake showing up- because she knows that they're different people, both her and Sun and any future Blake or Zuko. Even if there'll be probable bumps in the road. ]
You are always welcome to come to me for advice. You know I love telling people what to do.
[ Even if it's in a friendly, well-meaning and not bossy way. She loves it when people actually listen to her, okay.. and she's gotten better at taking jabs at herself, clearly. ]
It was a long time ago. So I guess it's only natural!
[Her smile is wide, but slowly quiets.]
...I wish I knew how to stay, and guarantee it. I wasn't really sure I could be happy here, but now...with everything... I dunno. This is the happiest I've been in a really long time. A really long time. And you're a big part of that reason too. So I hope we keep staying friends.

[Voice] - November 9th, Early Evening
Hey, just wanted to say I'm sorry for running off as soon as I woke up. I was kind of...you know.
[Freaking excited to see Mercury again after a year apart.]
So just checking in to see if you and Sun are okay. And to say thanks, for keeping me sane all that time. It meant a lot to me.

[ Three days without food is a lot OK?? ]
Where are you? You're not even that quiet in libraries.
[ Yang is loud and hurtful toward the good people of Vacuo in libraries. ]

> TEXT!!! GOD YANG
[ GOD. You're so rude, Yang. Weiss is hanging up and texting her though. ]
You two have an odd definition of sweet.

VICTORY!
[Little does Weiss know that Spider-Woman has introduced Winter to the insidious world of Candy Crush.]
Yeah, I did. I smell nice for my man. ...And the rest of the world will probably thank me for it too.
So who's winning?

Hold on, some bikini models just walked in.
[She waits to see if Mercury twitches or sits up. He's sitting still, though, so good. He's asleep.]
Was it a big deal the first time you used the L-word around Sun?
